How do you translate the English phrase "Is this guy for real?" into its
Japanese counterpart? The statement is uttered in a tone of disbelief. And
preferably in an informal and colloquial setting, like the conversation
between two friends, etc.

Colloquial Japanese Translation


> 「こいつマジかよ？」

or

> 「マジかよ、こいつ？」

would be the best equivalent I could think of.

I, however, would strongly suggest that you **not use it unless you are
already fairly fluent in informal Japanese**. Nothing sounds "funnier" and out
of place than a slangy expression thrown in amidst an unnatural-sounding
textbook kind of speech.
